Espanyol will look to build on back-to-back wins over Sevilla and Celta Vigo, but with important first-team regulars returning for Rayo Vallecano, our prediction leans toward a 1-1 draw. Los Periquitos have been producing fine performances of late, with the team climbing to the Conference League berth. The Catalans aim to give fans yet another reason to celebrate, but bear in mind that they have won only 40% of their last 10 home games. Fernando Calero is a major doubt after picking up a knock against Os Celestes.
Los Vallecanos are coming off three straight league draws, and their shaky second-half display against Valencia is a worrying sign. However, with both Isi Palazon and Pathe Ciss returning from suspension, we predict that the capital club will grab something from Sunday’s encounter. It has to be noted that Vallecano have been scoring 2.00 goals per game in the last 10 away fixtures.
Espanyol and Rayo Vallecano seem to be evenly matched at the moment. Therefore, we are tempted to place our bets on Draw, Half-Time Draw and BTTS.
This Primera Division match will be played on Sunday 7 December 2025 at 17:30.
